NCCE Chair awarded at TUDEC’S 13th Dialogue and Peace IFTER Dinner

Chairman of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Ms. Kathleen Addy, has, among other revered members of the society, been awarded for the conscious promotion of peace and strengthening of interfaith coexistence at the 13^th Dialogue and Peace Dinner organised by Tudec Development Centre, in collaboration with the National Peace Council.

The Dialogue and Peace Iftar Dinner is held during Ramadan of Muslims, which falls on “Lent” of Christians, for both faiths and traditionalists to “break bread” and dialogue on better ways to promote peaceful coexistence.

Ms. Kathleen Addy, while expressing appreciation for the award, called on all to join hands, forge ahead and concentrate on the things that brought them together rather than on those that divided them in politics, religion or culture. She urged the attendees and all citizens to prioritise Ghana in all their endeavours.

“Ghana remains an island of peace in a sea of turmoil, and we have been able to achieve that through events like this dialogue, Ms. Addy stated, adding that “you can have your differences, we cannot agree on everything, but we must embrace peace and solidarity”.

She also highlighted the efforts of the staff of NCCE, describing them as the most industrious team she has ever worked with, dedicating her award to all members of staff across the various districts of the country.

Other recipients of the awards on the night included the Commandant of the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), Major General Richard Addo Gyane; Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Right Reverend Abraham Nana Opare Kwaakye, and Sheikh Ali Napari, who is an Islamic Advocate and Chief Executive Officer of the Napari Company Limited.
